i've been playing GTA IV recently and i'm VERY new to the franchise but it's been on my mind so bad. i still have to finish it but i can't help but wonder what characters would be if they were furries whenever i get into something... i hope this isn't a terrible take on what animal Niko would be but i went with a European Pine Marten for him.

a little bit on my thought process here while picking an animal for anyone interested; the first thing that came to mind was maybe a wolf, but that feels like a go-to kind of option? so i had a look into some other animals and ended up picking between a golden jackal, eurasian otter or european pine marten!

i've never drawn a marten before, that headshape is a little tricky to get right! and i actually had to redo his ears a few times too because they kept turning out too feline looking. not sure if i got the look of a pine marten down but i'm pretty happy with how this turned out anyway, i had alot of fun colouring his clothes. happy with my lines too!
